About Reception & Modern Glam
For reception and cocktail parties, you need a look that stays put from your grand entry until the last dance. I balance styling with comfort, ensuring your curls or updo handle the humidity of a Mumbai evening and the energy of the dance floor without constant touching up or heavy pinning.
While my heart lies in traditional Maharashtrian bridal styling, I love the freedom that comes with reception and cocktail events. This is where we can break the rules a little and go for something fun, flirty, or sophisticated.
Why my modern glam approach works
When you book a session for your reception or cocktail party, we aren't just doing hair. We are crafting a look that complements your outfit—whether it is a heavy lehenga, a sequined saree, or a gown.
- Styling for Movement: If you are planning to dance all night, we focus on styles like high ponytails or secured half-updos that look great in motion.
- Volume & Texture: I use specific products to add volume that lasts, especially for open-hair styles like Hollywood waves or soft curls.
- The Dual-Artist Advantage: For faster, more efficient prep, I often work with my senior makeup associate. This means we can handle hair and makeup simultaneously, getting you ready without the hours of waiting that usually come with wedding preparations.
What we can create
- Sleek & Polished: Perfect for modern gowns, giving you that clean, high-fashion aesthetic.
- Soft & Romantic: Think loose curls, side-swept waves, or relaxed updos with delicate accessories.
- Edgy & Fun: High ponytails or textured braids for sangeet nights where you want to be comfortable and stylish.
Whether you are a bride or a guest, the process is the same: we discuss your outfit and the vibe of your event beforehand. I want you to feel confident and beautiful, not just for the photos, but for the whole celebration.
